As much as people have loved arguing about the “too perfect”Breaking Bad finale, there’s one thing that most sane adults can agree on: Flynn’s camo pants are going to be all rage this Halloween. Also, that Breaking Bad and The Wire are the undisputed greatest TV dramas of all-time, and not necessarily in that order. Sure, some people will choose The Sopranos or Deadwood over Breaking Bad, but unlike in film and music, where you’ll get 10 different answers from 10 different people on the best Beatles album (Rubber Soul or GTFO), it’s fairly accepted that Walter White and Omar Little are the kings, and you best not miss out on watching them.

Along those lines, Phonte, a Grammy nominated rapper who was one-third of Little Brother (download The Minstrel Show now), has been having some fun on Twitter, first comparing The Wire and Breaking Bad to Jay Z and Nas, before branching out to other rapper/TV show matches. He had me at “Mad Men is Eminem.”

Drake is “Girls”: A show that relies on an immensely female base for its popularity, tries to label itsself as a true picture of the culture its tied to, while the greater population justs laughs/shake their head/ignores it due to its gaping flaws that are defended to ends of the Earth

There is no undisputed greatest anything when it comes to art, so stop trying to pass opinion off as fact. Breaking Bad and the The Wire were great, but The Sopranos and Oz were just as good, if not better. I won’t rank TV shows (or movies) because their greatness is purely subjective.

With that out of the way, holy shit did Phonte nail most of these. I’m curious if anyone will come up with a comparison for Wayne.

I would emphatically agree in any other instance except when it comes to what the best TV show of all time is. That would be The Wire…not opinion, fact. I’m going to pretend I didn’t just read you saying that Oz was just as good if not better. Just…no, not gonna touch that.

Eminem is still South Park. They still churn out some great stuff on occasion but the consistent quality isn’t nearly what it used to be. We still watch/listen every week expecting something great but are often let down. Many of us can’t tell if the quality is truly declining or we are just out growing it. The early years are still looked at with great nostalgia and we will always love them….but they just aren’t the same anymore.

J. Cole is Party Down…2 excellent seasons but still under the radar…hopefully he doesn’t get cancelled like they did.

Jay-Z is The Walking Dead…One of the best first seasons of all time but the quality quickly declined. Despite this he has become more successful than ever and admits to dumbing itself down to appeal to the masses.
